Microsoft drops support for features in Metro IE 10

Microsoft drops support for features in Metro IE 10Affects: IE10 Metro
Microsoft has dropped support for some legacy IE-only features in IE10 (Metro version) in Windows 8 (due out later this year). Two methods in particular have been dropped: showModalDialog() and showModelessDialog().
Example:

Ok, now I understand. This applies to "Metro style apps". It does not apply generally to IE10 on Win8. I may not be familiar enough with Win8/Metro lingo, but your title "Metro IE 10" had me believing that it applied to IE10 on Win8 in general. That would be disastrous. A change that applies only to new-style apps is acceptable (in my view) as it enforces the style that MS wants to see going forward.

Recent Updates

Feb. 7,2009 - Added a new Tag called Broken By Design. It is applied to all reported bugs that the browser vendor has indicated that they have no intention of fixing this bug any time soon and is therefore broken "By Design".

Feb. 7,2009 - Updated as many bug reports as possible for Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) to reflect the status of IE8 RC1 since according to the IE Blog the RTM release is coming soon. If you want to know, click to see what has been fixed?
